Disclaimer
While we have taken precautions to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, and
disclosure via your SocialPet camera, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not breach these
measures and use your personal information. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own
risk. Please help us protect your security by using a wireless router with WEP/WPA or WPA2 configured for your
SocialPet camera. Note: if you have to enter a passphrase or a security code to connect devices to gain internet access,
you are protected. If this is not the case, please review the User Manual for the router you own. These are typically
available on the manufacturer’s web site.
Definitions
Router: A small physical device that allows multiple computers to join the same network. It is plugged into your
home phone line or cable and is often provided by your phone or cable provider.
Port-forwarding: Opens certain ports on your home or small business network to the Internet that are usually
blocked from access by your router. By opening these ports, you can allow your SocialPet camera to work through
the usual NAT (Network Addressing Translation) security of your router that otherwise does not permit
connections to these ports.

Getting Started
Please refer to the Quick Start Guide for easy setup instructions. You can refer to this manual should you encounter any
issues or failure to setup through the setup wizard.

Connecting the Camera
The next screen will instruct you to plug your camera into your router. It is best to use a router that supports Universal
Plug and Play (UPnP), but there are steps you can perform to manually setup the camera on a non-UPnP router. Under
advanced settings, the wizard will walk you through those steps. You will be redirected to the advanced setup
instructions if your router does not support UPnP. Click Connect.
Figure 7. Connecting your camera to router
Note: In some cases, it can take up to a minute for the camera to establish its connection to the internet. Be sure to plug
the camera into your router with the provided Ethernet cable and then into an outlet and wait a few minutes. The
camera will spin and stop when ready to continue setup.

Detecting the Camera
After you click Connect, you should see the camera found message. Do not unplug the camera, close the browser or the
exe window or it will cancel the setup.

from the router, choose Skip. Otherwise, click on the Scan for Wi-Fi networks button at the top of the page. The camera
will search for available Wi-Fi access points in range. You may have to scan twice to obtain your available networks,
depending on the speed of your internet connection and the amount of Wi-Fi networks in your area.
If you decided to keep the camera plugged into Ethernet, you can setup Wi-Fi later in the SocialPet Facebook app!
